(fairly old but worth a read) Playboy luxury of the Gaddafis: Seafront villas with booze, jet-skis,
Propelling a yellow kayak across the swimming pool, the young rebel soldier grins as he brandishes his AK47 rifle.

Four of his comrades, men in their early twenties from Misrata, play like children, dive-bombing each other in the water.

One soldier lounges in a plastic chair, laughing as he says: ‘This is my Libya now.’ Another adds: ‘Everything here belonged to Gaddafi. But he is not here now and he will never come back. It belongs to us all.’

This is for those who think that Gaddafi and his family lived a "normal" life relative to Libyans.

Psh.

1. Booze? Jet-skis?!
That alone justifies an extra-judicial game of hacky-sack with Ghaddafi's head.

2. Didn't say that. Just saying
that there are certain people who say that Gaddafi lived the same way as his people. Lies.

It's no wonder the rebels were angry. He and his cronies syphoned 90% of the oil wealth away for themselves.

3. Who are those people?
I hear that mentioned a lot but I haven't seen any links yet.

I have no doubt Libya was rife with corruption, but hey...those are shacks compared to this:



I haven't heard anyone say Obama lives the same way as his people either, but that's obvious.

4. They killed him too soon. We weren't envious enough yet.
Damn.
